WellSky® Patient Named Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform in 2024 MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program
This is the fifth year in a row a WellSky solution has been recognized by the prestigious international awards program
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, today announced that the WellSky Patient platform has been selected as winner of the “Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform” award in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.
WellSky Patient is a robust, easy-to-use platform that enhances communication and collaboration between those receiving care and those providing it. The patient engagement toolset connects patients, families, and caregivers through secure digital communication — including two-way messaging, photo sharing, and video visits — and virtual care. Additional family members or caregivers can be added to enhance the experience.
“When patients, families, and care providers stay engaged and can collaborate in real-time, it’s easier to identify issues quickly and intervene when appropriate,” said Bill Miller, CEO of WellSky. “Winning ‘Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform’ from MedTech Breakthrough reinforces our commitment to delivering on this need and developing next-level software, analytics, and services that power better outcomes through efficiency, intelligence, and connection.”
WellSky Patient’s condition management task-based programs guide patients using a daily activity feed, health status submissions, remote monitoring, medication adherence, and educational content to support the established plan of care and ensure clinical interventions. In addition, the patient care dashboard helps care team members to manage patient activities and identify needed interventions. Team members can view patient- and population-level progress, administer and modify care programs, issue notifications, and configure real-time alerts based on patient actions or submitted data. This includes embedded video visits that are simple and quick to launch.
Wellsky Patient’s robust integration hub has capabilities ranging from patient appointments to remote patient monitoring to seamlessly integrate into care based on health indicators in the EHR and biometric devices.
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work, and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data & Privacy, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 18 countries.
“WellSky’s breakthrough technology allows patients to stay in their home and better manage their care which, in turn, allows overburdened home health agencies to provide more efficient care,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Using WellSky Patient, patients and families can easily communicate with care team members, complete daily check-ins, and follow condition-specific management programs, while their providers can easily monitor and track their progress. This high touch experience is changing the future of home-health.”
